How to read a text file from other machine???

I have a text file located in local machine. I use th e code below to retrieve data from that particular text file.
String realPath = (String)getServletContext().getRealPath("");
BufferedReader holsFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(realPath + "/webpages/holidays.txt"));My question is , how could I retrieve the records from the tsxt file if the file is located in another machine or webserver?
Thanks for advanced.

It's ok to be new.
The answer is yes. (But I'll let you look in the javadoc to see which package it's in).
Also it may be worth understanding that there is no such thing as a "function" in java, operations are termed "methods". To go further, you should realise that URL is a class not a "function" or method. The parentheses mean you're calling the constructor.

Kiran

Hy kiran, is not possible to read data from flat file and put it in visual composer but you can :
1) load this file in BI by ETL, for example on DSO object and then you can create a bex query to retrive the data
2) if you want display the content of this file , you can use KM.

How to download a text file from the server

hi everyone,
can anyone tell me how to download and read a text file from the server and saved in into resource folder.
with regards
pallavi

its really easy
To read from server, use something like:
HttpConnection connector = null;
InputStream inp_stream = null;
OutputStream out_stream = null;
void CloseConnection()
     if(inp_stream!=null)inp_stream.close();
     inp_stream=null;
     if(out_stream!=null)out_stream.close();
     out_stream=null;
     connector.close();
     connector = null;
public void getResponse(String URL,String params)
try
     if(connector==null)connector = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(URL);//URL of your text file / php script
     connector.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
     connector.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1");
     connector.setRequestProperty("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
     //connector.setRequestProperty("charset","windows-1251");
     //*** If you need to send ("arg1=value&arg2=value") arguments to script use this:
     out_stream = connector.openOutputStream();
     byte postmsg[] = params.getBytes();
     out_stream.write(postmsg);
     int rc = connector.getResponseCode();//in any case here connection will be opened & closed
     if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
          CloseConnection();
          throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
     inp_stream = connector.openInputStream();
     int pack_len = inp_stream.available();
     byte answ[]=new byte[pack_len];
     inp_stream.read(answ);
     CloseConnection();
     ProcAnswer(answ);//process received data
catch(Exception ex)
     System.err.println("ERROR IN getResponse(): "+ex);
} And you can read from resource file like
public void loadFile(String filename)
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/"+filename));
    String str="";
    try
         while (true)
            ch = dis.read();//read character
            if(ch=='\r')continue;//if file made in windows
            if(ch=='\n' || ch==-1)//end of line or end of file
                if(str.length()==0)continue;//if empty line
                //do some thing with "str"
                if(ch==-1)break;//it was last line
                str="";//next line
                continue;
             str+=(char)ch;
       dis.close();
   catch (Exception e)
       System.err.println("ERROR in loadFile() " + e);
}Welcome! =)

Reading a text file from a remote host. Authentication required.

Hi frnds,
I have to read a text file "config.txt" from a remote host "HOSTNAME". File is shared in a folder - "FOLDER" .
If the folder is shared with no password protection then it works. But if the folder is password protected the code is unable to read the file.
I know the UserName and PassWord of the shared folder. How to code for this.
I don't want to share the Folder to everyone without a password.
Kindly Help.
try {
FileReader fr=new FileReader("\\\\HostName\\folder\\config.txt");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
String s=null;
while((s=br.readLine())!=null)
/* One line is read */
fr.close();
catch(Exception e)
throw new Exception("Exception in ConfigConstants."+e.toString());

How to read a text file using Java

Guys,
Good day!
Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards,
I-Talk

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

Read a text file from DB directly (don't use PLSQL).

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Reading a text file from a URL

I am having problems trying to read a text file from a URL.
This is the code i have been using:
package Java;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Main_1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
     URL myAddress = new URL("http://www.geocities.com/simonrobinson1/java/farrago.txt");
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    myAddress.openStream()));
     String inputLine;
     while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
     System.out.println(inputLine);
     in.close();
but it returns an error saying:
java.net.NoRouteToHostException: Operation timed out: no further information
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) .....etc etc.
Is this just a problem due to my network or is there something wrong with my code ????

Altho you can access the file by typing the URL in a browser, geocities being a free web-hosting service don't like you to access the materials without seeing their ads. You have to find a way to trick it into thinking that you are indeed coming in from a web browser even tho you aren't.

Sample code to read a text file from UNIX directory.

I am using 9i Developer Suite, application server is 9.0.4. I want some help on how to read a flat file from UNIX environment. A sample code could be very helpful.
In windows, i use this kind of code:-
I declare an object & then write to a file using these sample staements:-
file_handle text_io.file_type;
filename := 'd:\ran\egs\uninvoiced.txt';
file_handle:=text_io.fopen(filename,'w');
text_io.put_line(file_handle, 'MOBILE NO '||'COUPON NO ' || 'DATE');
I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt.
Regards.

filename := 'd:\ran\egs\uninvoiced.txt';This is a Windows directory, so it won't work on Unix.
For the rest of the code: see examples in the Forms Builder Online Help.

Do you have access to other host or no? Are you going to write software for both hosts or planning to use existing server?
Actually you can use any known protocol or write your own.
